ie6-upgrade-warning

Internet Explorer 6 warning message in webpages asking for browser upgrade

The ie6-upgrade-warning is a little script (7.9kb) that displays a warning message politely informing the user to upgrade the browser to a newer version (links to newest IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome are provided).

The webpage is still visible behind a transparent background, but access to it is prevented. The idea is to force users to upgrade from IE6 and avoid the website from a bad reputation that website is not rendering correctly in IE6.

The script is completely translatable in any language, very easy to set-up (one line of code in webpage and one parametter configuration).

Just insert the line <!--[if lte IE 6]><script src="js/ie6/warning.js"></script><script>window.onload=function(){e("js/ie6/")}</script><![endif]--> right after the <body> declaration of the webpage and change the e("js/ie6/") to the folder where the script's icons images are located.

More translations are available over here

Any translations of the script's initial messages are welcomed.
